Hi, all. I copied the following event info straight out of the periodic email I get from YWCA Greensboro (I added links where I could.) Next Tuesday is the next installment in the YWCA's Brown Bag Lunch Series. Check it out!

Issues Important to Women

From The Shriver Report

JULY'S TOPIC
WHERE HAVE YOU GONE ROSEANNE BARR?
WOMEN IN THE MEDIA

Invited Panelists for this topic:
Denny Kelly, President, Bouvier Kelly, Inc.
Tracey McCain, WFMY News 2, Anchor and Reporter
Gloria Thompson, Owner, GWT Marketing Communications

Women's professional success and financial status are significantly overrepresented in the mainstream media, suggesting that women "have it all." Yet in real life, even as most women work, there are far too few women among the highest ranks of the professions, and millions of everyday women struggle to make ends meet and to juggle work and family. What might the repercussions of these misrepresentations be? How do they affect women's struggle for full equality at work and at home?

Event is Free and Open to the Public!

Immigrant Women in America (in Greensboro)

Every Monday I receive the "FaithAction e-News" email newsletter from FaithAction International House. This week's e-newsletter highlights one of the YWCA's lunch series on women's issues:

INVISIBLE BUT ESSENTIAL: Immigrant Women in America

An Asian face, a Caribbean accent, or the echo of Spanish reveals that millions of Americans entrust their most precious treasures--their children, their parents, their homes--to immigrant women. Are they invisible to us? Do we undervalue their contribution?
